Major Isewater Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Has every player in our team been called out as a scapegoat ? I am just really happy that some of my fellow fans on OTIB never make mistakes in their professional lives. Frankie Bryan Maggers Baker Wright Brownhill Pack Smith Paterson Diedhou Woodrow Subs Djuric Elliasen Diony Flint Steele Taylor O' Neill Every single one has been made a scapegoat at one time or another. What does that say about our support ? I would say that each of these lads give 100% when called upon and should get our ' support ' to help them through their inevitable sticky patches. Negative criticism rarely helps someone perform at their best level . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Managed by arguably by the biggest (debatable) scapegoat ever in his playing days? FWIW I didn't rate LJ much as a player, but he's earned our respect as manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Scapegoating someone is not the same as criticising their performances. People seem to forget that on OTIB. It does happen sometimes, but I'd rather live in a world where people are happy to criticise than some bizarre dystopia where all we do is smile and clap no matter what.

I agree , however , I believe every player listed has , at one time or another been blamed for our team's ill fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this @ZiderEyed I've only really seen discussions on where errors have been made by individual players etc, that is a big difference between making that player to be a "Scapegoat" Sadly these errors are costing us at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 People cannot accept that players go through dips in form. On this forum a player is two poor games away from not being good enough in a lot of people's eyes. It sounds very arrogant but a lot of fans dont watch games properly, dont know what they are watching and are too quick to judge and re-judge.

Alternatively RedDave, some are too quick to put the players and head coach on a pedestal and talk about "when" we are in the Premier League. Most players get a pretty easy ride at our club in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, but several on that list have been a scapegoat at somepoint in their City career. Fielding, Flint, Pack, Magnússon, Woodrow, all have definitely.

Certainly both under appreciated. Edit: I think Johnson got it worse when we were struggling as people pulled out "he's only in the team because his dad is the manager".

I’m not sure he was scapegoated Just identified as not very good (apart from his first match) Real scapegoats include Dave Smith, Joe Burnell, Edwards, Lee Johnson as a player. My favorite scapegoat on here of all time was Christian Edwards. I read some ***** on here going after him because he was Welsh. No wonder he turned to booze.
